Marketed worldwide under five GM brands and eleven different nameplates, the Kalos vehicles have evolved through two styling generations. A brand is a collection of Images and ideas representing an economic producer more specifically it refers to the descriptive verbal attributes and concrete symbols such as a A name plate identifies and displays a person or product's name The nomenclature of the two generations, T200 and T250, derive from the internal coding used by first Daewoo and then GM Daewoo, during the car's development, and both generations have been built on a dedicated platform sharing three body styles and five engine configurations — and shared with no other vehicles.

The nameplate "Kalos" derives from the Greek word kalos (καλός) for "beautiful". Modern Greek (el Νέα Ελληνικά or el Νεοελληνική lit The Kalos inscription was a form of epigraph found on Attic vases and graffiti in antiquity common between 550 and 450 BCE and usually found on symposion [3]

Designer Italdesign Giugiaro

The original Daewoo Kalos is based on a GM Daewoo T200 platform, which replaced the T100 platform of the Daewoo Lanos. Italdesign-Giugiaro SpA (commonly called Italdesign) is an Automobile design and engineering company in Turin, Italy. GM Daewoo Auto & Technology ( GM Daewoo or GMDAT) was first established as National Motor in 1937 in Bupyeong-gu Incheon, South Korea. The Daewoo Lanos was a Subcompact car manufactured by the Korean Automaker Daewoo Motors from 1997 to 2002 and still made under a license agreement Models constructed on this platform debuted in 2002 to South Korea, North America, Europe and most other markets. They were available in all three body styles. Pre-production prototypes were shown at the Geneva Auto Show in April 2002. Manufacture of the Kalos began in early March of 2002 [4].

Under development before Daewoo's bankruptcy, the Kalos was the company's first new model introduction following its bankruptcy and subsequent takeover by GM. [4]

Conception

Originally designed by Italdesign Giugiaro, the Kalos derives directly from the Kalos Dream concept vehicle presented first at the 2000 Paris Motor Show and then as a further developed concept at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, 2002 Geneva Auto Show, and 2003 at the Geneva Show. Italdesign-Giugiaro SpA (commonly called Italdesign) is an Automobile design and engineering company in Turin, Italy. (Kalos Dream photos)

During this three-year gestation, Daewoo struggled financially, the ultimate fate of the company and the well-named concept vehicle remaining uncertain. This article is about the Chaebol Daewoo Group For the Korean auto company Daewoo Motors that is associated with Chevrolet, see GM Daewoo. Upon introduction, the initial European models carried an emblem reading "Design Giugiaro. "

Referring to his firm's design of the Kalos, Giorgetto Giugiaro said:

“ When we designed it, we set out to produce an alternative to conventional lines and tread new paths in terms of design. Giorgetto Giugiaro (born August 7, 1938) is an Italian Automobile designer He was born in Garessio, Province of Cuneo [5] ”

The Italdesign Guigiaro T200 sedans and hatchbacks feature a swage line running along the lower body to the rear door, which kinks downward prominently on the hatchback. Swaging ( pronunciation note below) is a Metal -forming technique in which the dimensions of an item are altered using a die or dies into which the item 5-door hatchbacks also feature a side window in the C/D pillar with a distinctively angled lower edge. An A-pillar is a name applied by car stylists and enthusiasts to the shaft of material that supports the windshield (windscreen on either of the windshield frame sides Interiors feature a circular motif throughout. US Chevy Aveo, Canadian Suzuki Swift+ and Australian Holden Barina variants featured the same grille with slight differences; European versions and some Latin American versions featured a wider grille with larger slanted headlights.

Design development

Daewoo's now disbanded Worthing Technical Centre in the UK conducted the initial research and platform engineering, with Daewoo's main Technical Center in Bupyong, Incheon, South Korea completing the majority of the later development programme. Bupyeong-gu is one of the 10 administrative divisions (eight wards and two counties that comprise Incheon, South Korea Daewoo engineers refined the chassis in Britain, on the proving ground at MIRA near Nuneaton, UK. The Motor Industry Research Association, often known as MIRA, is a Limited company based near Nuneaton in Warwickshire in the United Kingdom [5] Long-term testing covered nearly 2. 2 million kilometers with further testing outside South Korea on test sites in Arjeplog/Sweden, Granada and Idiada/Spain, Kapuskasing/Canada and Beijing/China. Arjeplog ( Northern Sami: Arjepluovve) is a locality (pop 1950 in Lapland Sweden and the seat of Arjeplog Municipality, Norrbotten Granada is a city and the capital of the province of Granada, in the autonomous region of Andalusia, Spain. Kapuskasing (population 8509 in the Canada 2006 Census) is a Town on the Kapuskasing River in the Cochrane District of northern Ontario [6]

According to an April, 2003 GMDAT press release, Daewoo built 119 prototypes during the Kalos's design and development, crashing 31 for research and data-gathering purposes,[6] and manufacturing 39 pilot production vehicles to verify standards and quality. [6]

Body and packaging

The Kalos vehicles meet subcompact (North America) and supermini or B-segment (per EuroNCAP) size classifications. A subcompact car is an Automobile in a North American Vehicle size class, encompassing vehicles smaller than Compact cars According to the

All Kalos iterations feature high H-point seating within a relatively narrow, short and high-roofed body that combines a long wheelbase with short front (81 cm) and rear (49 cm, hatchback) overhangs -- to maximize the visibility, interior space and maneuverability relative to the vehicle's footprint. In vehicle design and especially Automotive design, the H-point (or hip-point) is the relative vertical location of an occupant's hip, specifically the Rear seat H-points are higher in all body types. In vehicle design and especially Automotive design, the H-point (or hip-point) is the relative vertical location of an occupant's hip, specifically the

Available body styles

Cargo volume

Per the German VDA standard, hatchbacks feature cargo space of 735 liters (5-door, rear seat flipped and folded), 175 liters (5-door, rear seat up, parcel shelf in place) -- and a maximum payload of 495 kg (1091 lb). [6] Per EPA cargo volume ratings, Aveo's have cargo volume of 11. 7 cf (5-door, rear seat up), 7. 1 cf (sedan), and 42cf (5-door, rear seat folded & flipped).

Passenger volume

The EPA volume index for the Aveo calculate an interior volume of 102. 7 cf (5-door) and 107. 4 cf (sedan) -- giving the Aveo's sub-compact rating, despite meeting the volume criteria for a compact vehicle. A supermini is a British Car classification term that describes Automobiles larger than a City car but smaller than a Small family car. A compact (North America small family (European or c-segment car is a classification of cars which are larger than a supermini

Headroom and theater seating

The Kalos' interior headroom was unmatched in it's class at the time of its introduction. [5] The rear seat of the Kalos has a higher H-point than the front seat, giving the car theater seating

Safety

The Kalos models have been tested in at least four international New Car Assessment Programs, the results reflecting varying equipment and the differences in the tests themselves. Based on market priorities and price point control, some safety equipment is either unavailable or available only as extra-cost options (including side airbags, ABS, foglights and a rear center position three-point seatbelts and headrests. )

Korea: models received four stars for both driver and front-seat passenger in crash tests conducted by the Korean Automobile Test and Research Institute (KATRI). [15]

Europe: models received the following European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) ratings:

Australia: Holden Barina models received scored 2 stars (of 5) from ANCAP, a rating that is lower than the previous European-built, Opel-based Barina had scored,[16] and the lowest ANCAP rating since 2004. The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP is a European Car safety performance assessment programme founded in 1997 by the Transport Research The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP is an Automobile organisation operated to give consumers coherent results on the protection given by vehicles in front and [17] Notably, the Australian Barina models do not feature the front-seat mounted side airbags offered in other markets (e. g. , USA), nor are the ANCAP ratings directly comparable to the ratings of other NCAP programs.

GM introduced a revised sedan at Auto Shanhai 2005, designed in cooperation with PATAC. Auto Shanghai is an international automobile show that alternates each year with the Beijing Auto Show and dates to its inception in 1985. The Pan-Asia Technical Automotive Center (or PATAC) is a Joint venture between General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. Bearing the internal code T250 and sold in South Korea as Daewoo Gentra, the revision comprised primarily interior and exterior styling changes, a new interior IP (instrument panel) and minor equipment changes, including increased sound deadening. A dashboard, dash, and sometimes fascia (chiefly in British English) is a control panel located under the Windshield of an Automobile [18] Incorporation of the radio antenna into the rear glass and extensive wind tunnel testing helped reduce the coefficient of drag from 0. 348 to 0. 326. [18]

A restyled version of the hatchback with the sedans updated IP (instrument panel) was presented as the Chevrolet Aveo during the Frankfurt Motor Show 2007, to be marketed in Europe and North America. A dashboard, dash, and sometimes fascia (chiefly in British English) is a control panel located under the Windshield of an Automobile The International Motor Show or Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA is the world's largest Motor show. The Korean market received its own distinct restyle of the hatchback, the Gentra X.

Later iterations, including the Kalos, Aveo, Barina and Gentra sedans, the Gentra X hatchback and the 2007 "Frankfurt Show" hatchbacks were styled in-house and with the assistance of PATAC -- and depart notably from the original Giugiaro exterior and interior styling designs. The Pan-Asia Technical Automotive Center (or PATAC) is a Joint venture between General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.

With launching Gentra X in South Korea, GMDAT had replaced engines of T250. 1. 2 L S-TEC II engine had updated with features such as double overhead camshaft (DOHC) and timing chain (older version has timing chain) system. 1. 6 L E-TEC II engine had replaced with ECOTEC (GEN-III) engine with new features such as variable valve timing mechanism.
